The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 124
The beast cloud swallows the sunset, the full moon reflects the shooting star, and the red tape of the whole day finally stops at this moment. The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus blows with the autumn wind, bringing a little bit of coolness and comfort.

It was supposed to be an occasion to relax and chat with each other, but just as Lu Wanlan was seated, he immediately felt the atmosphere was solemn and low-pressure, and the entire Huaxiao Hall was like a polar cold river at this time, making people feel panicky.

Looking across the carp pond in front of him, many courtiers were already present.There were not many old ministers left when the first emperor was in power, but because of Duan Lin's election, there were many newcomers from humble families who were educated, reasonable, and free-spirited.

It's just that today, because Duan Lin made a big disturbance in Huagai Palace and provoked Longyan's fury, these rising stars who usually like to talk about history and politics became more cramped.

And the senior officials of the aristocratic family who sat in it seldom chatted, but at this time they were sitting upright, serious and unsmiling.Looking at the female relatives beside him, they also bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, silent as if chilling.

Although they were sitting on one side, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between these people.Judging from their posture of not interacting with each other, it is presumed that the two forces have already formed a tendency to fight against each other.

But I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Lu Wanlan has a faint feeling that although these people seem to disagree on the surface, they seem to have a common understanding - they have been deliberately keeping a distance from him.

It's funny to say, she and Xiao Yanzhi didn't go together, and many noble ladies have never met Lu Wanlan.When I entered the palace just now, I looked at her from a distance, and felt that she was beautiful, her appearance was quiet and her body was quiet, and her every frown and smile revealed an attitude of allure.

However, when everyone saw the phoenix crown and Xiapei on her body clearly, they immediately wanted to jump three feet away, for fear of being misunderstood.

Who doesn't know that the dominatrix of the Lu family forced the coffin to marry King Yan?
On the surface, the two of them are harmonious husband and wife, but there have always been rumors in the market that the Lu family has long been disobedient, and this move is suspected of wanting to rebel in the name of King Yan!
And the poor family forces are even more daring to speak out against her. It sounds nice to donate tuition money, but the vain money was obviously misappropriated by the sage, and none of it fell into the hands of poor students!

Who knows if Princess Yan is just looking for an excuse to please the Holy Majesty?

Now I am so tired that I am ridiculed by those aristocratic families, saying that they are not worried about being poor, but instead want to eat what a little girl gave them.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the hall became even more subtle.

But I have to say, this Yan Wang's heart is really big!

At such a time, he could still casually pick up the wine glass and sip on his own.

Just as the wine entered his throat, a calm male voice came from above:

"I remember that the sixth emperor brother is in poor health and cannot drink alcohol. Why is he so greedy today?"

Xiao Yanzhi put down his wine glass and looked up, only to see Xiao Jingyu leaning on the throne and looking at him with a half-smile.It seemed that Duan Lin's remonstrance to death today was just an episode and did not affect his mood in any way.

Before Xiao Yanzhi could reply, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Wanlan again, his eyes flashed brightly:
"After all, he is a married man, with the concubine taking care of him, the sixth emperor's body can recover so quickly."

Because the distance is not far away, every question from the emperor fell into Lu Wanlan's ears verbatim. She glanced at Xiao Yanzhi with some worry, his outline was very blurred under the shadow of the moon, and every move seemed to be drawn to him. Trapped in her thoughts, she didn't let out a breath until she heard Xiao Yanzhi's answer.

"Brother Xie Huang is concerned. This subject is just a relapse of an old disease. Fortunately, there is an imperial physician to take care of him. After recuperating for a long time, there is no serious problem."

"Hahaha, that's good." Xiao Jingyu smiled even more intensely, and then he raised his glass, "What are you all waiting for? Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is the night of reunion. I didn't invite you here just to let you sit Why don't you offer a toast to King Yan first?"

Hearing this, the faces of all the officials suddenly changed, but is there any way to disobey the emperor's order?
Thinking about it, the King of Yan once made great achievements in battle, and he also made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion of the King of Jin. The Holy Majesty has always relied heavily on him, and it is only right that he should be treated so favorably.

The officials of various ministries who were good at management raised their glasses and nodded, while flattering Xiao Jingyu, and at the same time treating Xiao Yanzhi with courtesy.

Seeing this, the female relatives also raised their wine glasses, pretending to be enthusiastic, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively.

But a gloomy glint flashed silently in Xiao Jingyu's eyes, and it was fleeting.

He casually waved his sleeves and glanced at everyone, but suddenly stopped on a black figure, and the corner of his mouth slightly opened:

"Five emperors, why don't you raise your glass?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yihan pointed the white jade back to Huo Di, and a hoarse voice immediately flowed in the hall:
"Brother Huihuang, my younger brother used to be stationed on the border of Liaodong. General Lu has strict military discipline and forbids drinking alcohol. Although my younger brother is only a general, he must never forget to abide by the military order. Although he is not in the army now, he still cannot change this habit. gone."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Jingyu looked carefully at the fine wine in the cup, and the corners of his slightly parted lips gradually revealed a smile, "If all the armies at the border can be as strict as General Lu, every soldier can be as strict as the fifth emperor's brother." With such self-denial and dedication to the public, then I don’t need to worry about border defense.”

When the people who had just toasted the toast heard these words, their faces changed slightly, and the wine glass in their hands suddenly looked like a piece of red-hot charcoal. , Pharynx is not, I don't know what to do for a while.

However, Xiao Yanzhi was careless, and drank the fine wine in the cup with his head raised, and the sharpness in his eyes disappeared silently with this action.

"Speaking of border crossings, there have been a lot of reports on Liaodong's military situation recently, most of which are related to the increase of armaments. However, there are Japanese pirates harassing the Liaodong coast, and there are seven Danba infiltrations on the land. There have been years of war and chaos, and the suffering of the people has been unspeakable, I wonder how the Sixth Brother can stop the war?"

Xiao Yanzhi was silent for a while, then laughed at himself:
"I have been guarding the border in Yanbei for many years, and I know the sufferings of the people on the border. However, the border area of ​​Yanbei is vast and mostly plains, unlike the complicated terrain of Liaodong, where there are many barbarians. As for the strategy of marching and fighting, I think General Lu is better at it. If he can't do anything, the younger brother will not dare to fight with the ax."

"It's okay." Xiao Jingyu put the wine glass in front of him again, "Today's palace banquet, I won't talk about these worrying things anymore. Since you are mostly in good health, why not go to the Ministry of War to discuss matters tomorrow, so that you can familiarize yourself with various affairs before Make a note for me..."

After he finished speaking, his face flickered under the palace lantern, showing no emotion.But the hearts of the officials instantly rose to their throats.

This King Yan is indeed a rare and virtuous person, but beside him, there is Princess Yan.It would be inappropriate to let him enter the military department to discuss matters hastily.

Xie Huaibin, Minister of the Ministry of War who had been silent all this time, raised his eyes lightly, and silently drank a glass of wine.

The sound of silk and bamboo sounded at the right time, covering up the noisy sound during the banquet.

Although on the surface it is a scene of singing and dancing, but the people in it have no time to appreciate it.While discussing in a low voice, Xiao Yihan's unharmonious voice came from the side of the emperor:

"Your brother thinks that if you can subdue others without fighting, that would be the best strategy!"

　Sorry: Due to the pre-holiday holiday, it is too late to work overtime, and the update has been stepped up. This chapter is a bit unsatisfactory, and I have re-edited a few places.
